Abstract:

Information technology is now interactive in nature. Interactivity means its users communicate with and through the computer. Interaction between the machine and the human being is enhanced. In this regard, the most efficient way of communicating is to engage all the senses and make communication interactive. Multi media’s cyberspace culture allows the combination of text, audio, and video to deliver information and entertainment. This kind of communication has finally come to fore in this world of global communication. In a global society today, new media technology takes a large chunk in disseminating information to society. To be a part of the global village is inevitable these days.
